CORRECTION

IT WAS ANNOUNCED IN THE LAKE TAHOE NEWSPAPER THIS WEEK THAT BRETT FAVRE HAD CANCELLED ON THE GOLF TOURNAMENT. WHAT A SHAME, AND THE ARTICLE DIDN'T EVEN REALLY OFFER A GOOD EXCUSE.

ON THE DIRECT TV FRONT, THE NEIGHBOR AND I HAVE BEEN SPLITTING THE SIGNAL OFF OF HIS SATELLITE DISH SINCE I COULDN'T GET MINE TO WORK. FOR SOME REASON WE WERE ONLY GETTING ABOUT A THIRD OF THE STATIONS WE ARE SUPPOSED TO GET. WE TRIED EVERYTHING FOR TWO DAYS, SWITCHING LBN'S, TRYING HIS DISH , THEN MINE, ETC.

FINALLY IN THE SECOND DAY, I FOUND A LOOSE CONNECTION IN MY SYSTEM. NOW WE ARE EACH ON OUR OWN DISH AND RECEIVING ALL THE STATIONS WE'RE ENTITLED TO. LESSON LEARNED !!! ALTHOUGH MY DISH IS SITTING 5O FEET AWAY AND TWO SITES OVER JUST TO GET AIMED THROUGH THE TREES TO THE SATELLITE.

AS LONG AS WE'RE CATCHING UP, AMY AND FAMILY ARE IN TEXAS FOR A THREE WEEK STAY, WORKING ON A HOUSE REMODEL PROJECT. PAULIE IS IN THE OVER 100 DEGREE HEAT OF VEGAS AND LOOKING FORWARD TO SOME VACATION TIME IN LOS ANGLES AT THE END OF THE MONTH.

MARY AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING FOUR DAYS A WEEK, AND ENJOYING LIFE AT BEAUTIFUL LAKE TAHOE, HIGH UP IN THE SIERRA NEVADA MOUNTAINS.
